I was referring only to this quote on the parent: > it is ugly Python, boring Python, without any hint of elegance it could be. No list-set-dict comprehensions, which is what makes Python interesting I disagree that list-set-dict comps is most of what makes Python interesting. Its meta programming is more interesting IMO. Not implying at all that Scheme has no meta programming or lacking meta programming. Instead I'd argue it's more powerful than Python's.
